Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
